SANITIZING THE WATER SOFTENER

Care is taken at the factory to keep your water softener clean and sanitary. Materials used to make the softener

will not infect or contaminate your water supply, and will not cause bacteria to form or grow. However,

during shipping, storage, installing and operating, bacteria could get into the softener. For this reason, sanitizing as follows is suggested ® when installing.

1.The first time you sanitize your softener, be sure to

do a!/steps in the installation manual, and on pages 5, 6 and 7 of this manual first.

2.Lift the salt hole cover and use a pail or hose to fill the salt storage tank with at least 3 gallons of water.

3.Remove the brinewell cover (FIG. 3) and pour

about 3/4 ounce of common 5.25% household bleach (Clorox, Linco, BoPeep, White Sail, Eagle, etc.) in the softener brinewell.

4.Press the ON/OFF-HOLDbutton and hold for3 seconds to start a recharge. This first recharge does several things.

--It draws the bleach into and through the soft- ener to sanitize it.

--It fills the salt tank to the water level needed.

--It gets all the air out of the resin tank.

--It prepares the resin bed (see page 13) for ser- vice.

NOTES:

This recharge takes about 2-1/2 or 2-3/4 hours,

depending on the salt type setting (page 7).

You can sanitize the softener with or udth-

out salt in the storage tank.
